Hi all,

Nearly time for santa to endulge us in golfing pressets and as I have spent over £2k on my wife this year I am treating myself to some tee's - lucky ah...

with this is mind what tee's do you use and how do you ensure you get your heights right each time or do you use the tee's with stoppers on so they go in the ground the same every time?

At the moment I use standard wooden tees and for the irons they go right in almost to the point of playing off the ground and the driver/woods I put them in till it looks right and then line it up with the centre of the club face before starting my pre-shot routine.

thanks for your advice...

I just use the 83mm tees and adjust to whatever club I am using, simply find what works and try to remember it. irons will be quite low and I would use broken tees instead (less resistance than longer tees should you hit it a bit fat).

BTW any chance you can edit your signature, its huge, larger than your actual post!

LOL - I am on it. My pro had me break the tees for some of my shots the other weekend so good shout on that one.

Broken tees for iron/wedge tee shots. Short wooden ones for hybrid/3 wood and white (switching to pink) castle tees with driver

Whats your thoughts on these 0 drag tees that are like 3 prongs on the top - worth it or gimick?

I use them, purely because I used to break 6-8 wooden ones per round, and I only break one of these every 2 or 3 rounds.

As for height, when I can deliver the driver within a couple of mm every time I'll worry about being exact with how far the ball is off the ground. :)

Handy tip, use white (or other coloured tees) with your tee shots as they leave a tell tail mark on the club (can be wiped off) which can help diagnose poor shots, ie off the toe, high up the face etc.

Standard wooden tees but coloured for me i dislike white ones. broken bits for irons hybrid fairway.

Think you might be able to get a solid gold diamond encrusted all singing and dancing tee for 2K! :)

You do realise you'll get a lorry load of tee's for £2k?

For me, 83mm tee's for just about everything, adjusting the height as needed. I have some 53mm which I use for long irons and my hybrid, if not I use a broken 83mm, or even a broken one left on the tee area if its near by.

Those wooden tee's with the yellow paint band around them for the driver, anything broken for anything else unless I find 1 of those small wooden tees with the red paint band around!

Personally use beestees. Carry 69mm and 53 mm ones manly because I bought both lengths to try out. They have a numbered stripe system so a 3 on the 53mm is the same height as a 3 on the 83mm tee. Like others it's the only consistent part of my game but more flexible than castles if you want to vary height for any reason.

I usually use white wooden tees, as I bought 1000 of them. Broken bits found on the tee box for irons and FWs.
At the moment we have a number of winter tee mats I've bought some white castles for my driver, as I can't get the wooden tees in the mat far enough. I quite like them.
The pink ones are way too high for me. I have some friends who use these. The amount of sky'd drives and marks on the top of their drivers I've seen, i don't understand why they perservere with them.

Rubber cones in winter.

All other times I use the plastic colour coded castle tees.
Red = Irons & Hybrids
Blue = 3 & % Wood
Pink = Driver

I use the GoKart Tee's Sally sent me with my trophy for my 3w drives, I push them down with ball in-hand until I feel the ground and ball compress against my index and middle finger :rolleyes:

Long par 3's I use a red castle off the mats, short par 3's straight off the mat but in normal conditions I don't use a tee on any par 3.
